“Can’t you see it yet?” The whispers echoed around the room. “Lin Laoda is only reaching out because Lin Lao’er’s family is thriving now. He’s stingy, hoping to achieve great things with little money. He talks about blood being thicker than water, but in reality, he’s just after the benefits.”
Upon hearing these murmurs, Lin Laoda hardened his heart. He pulled out three more red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to Gu Zi, along with the initial one. Four envelopes, four hundred yuan. It pained him to part with the money, but he was more interested in winning over Gu Zi’s husband. “I apologize for my lack of consideration,” he said, “Please accept these on behalf of the children.”
Gu Zi didn’t hesitate this time. She reached out and took the envelopes. Lin Laoda’s wife felt a pang of pain in her heart. Her four hundred yuan was gone!
Gu Zi chuckled and thanked the elder couple. “The children and Su Shen have gone to pay their New Year’s respects. I’ll accept these on their behalf. When they return, they’ll pay their respects to you.”
Gu Zi was not blind to the fact that Lin Laoda’s wife had turned pale, most likely from the pain of parting with the money. But that was precisely the effect she wanted.
If the elder couple wanted to reestablish their relationship with Lin Lao’er’s family, they had to show enough sincerity, regardless of their true intentions. If they felt the sincerity was too costly, they would naturally not come again.
Mother Lin also understood Gu Zi’s intentions. However, their family didn’t believe in only taking and not giving. She believed Gu Zi would approve of her actions. After Gu Zi accepted the red envelopes, Mother Lin took out two from her bag, each containing a hundred yuan, and gave them to Lin Laoda’s two grandsons. The boys’ faces lit up with joy.
However, the expression on the face of Lin Laoda’s wife didn’t improve. They had given out four envelopes and only received two in return. They were still two hundred yuan short! She regretted not having more grandchildren. It was such a loss!
